Finding fulltexts for scientific literature - a resource

[Frozenthunderbolt]

If anyone is struggling with paywalls and needs more information than they can get from a free abstract, then Sci-hub can be unbelievably useful.
It is free, requires no log in and has a wide range of papers that it has collected.

thanks. I didn't know sci-hub , usually I use google-scholar 5-10 years ago with birdflu here there was just pubmed medline.
Sometimes it helps to type the title into searchengine to find other sources.

At the moment I'm overwhelmed and concerned with nCoV can hardly read the abstracts or headlines ...

No worries - the more info the better when looking at what is known. I run the last release of seamonkey and it works. It also works on chrome but I haven't tried anything else.

Thanks very much, Frozenthunderbolt - this works great for me with Firefox.

might be reliant on a modern update then by the sounds of it.

If you have any papers you are after full text of and can't access let me know here and I'll do my best to obtain them for you.
